mrdenny Posted December 25, 2008 Report Share Posted December 25, 2008 Congrads Bartman. It's very cool looking.I am so glad someone from the upper lats won!. One of the reasons I had fun with it (silly guess) is that it's Christmas afternoon and the AC is on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have searched for a online vendor that would list a price for it. haven't found one yet. It must be a EXPENSIVE machine, if ya gotta ask what the price is.............ya can't afford it.....

Jeepster Posted January 18, 2009 Report Share Posted January 18, 2009 I have decided to turn my winter blues into some winter garments. Ron, Neat graphic. The machine in the video doesn't look like my hand-me-down Kenmore ... doesn't even look like my wife's new sewing/embroidering machine. Are you doing the embroidering for fun or to add to your offerings? I've got a friend who made a pattern of the IKE emblem for my wife's machine. Found out how much work is involved in producing that type of pattern ... 23,000 stitches and a little over an hour on the home machine. Geez.

Baloo Posted January 18, 2009 Report Share Posted January 18, 2009 Tiz a cool vid. Shows how much thread and work gos into it. Imagine trying to do that by hand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mitchy Posted January 18, 2009 Report Share Posted January 18, 2009 Tiz a cool vid. Shows how much thread and work gos into it. Imagine trying to do that by hand. I would agree on how much time it can take to digitize some of the embroidery files. Even if I get decent artwork beforehand it is still very time consuming to get a professional result. I spent 4.5 hours doing the Tennessee Wind Militia flyers logo last week. I find that the automated digitizing part of most embroidery programs are close to useless so I do it manually. I done a few caps for Portsmouth last year with the Anniversary Rev but mine stitch out on a cylindrical cap frame (£900 GBP) that moves the cap in and out and rotates it instead of trying to make the cap flat to hoop it. Just finishing Bartmans sweatshirt from the how many stitches quiz later today. (Will post a few pics when done) With all the doom and gloom on the news lately I feel another quiz coming shortly. regards Dave M Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The machine being used is a commercial embroidery machine. It was actually running at a slower speed in the video. My company offers many different types of signage including screen printing as well as embroidery. It started out as fun but I've made a few hoodies and hats for some local flyers.

Mitchy Posted January 18, 2009 Report Share Posted January 18, 2009 Is there some way we can see some samples and prices of your work dave? Hi Jeremy, I will upload some samples of work to my Flickr account over the next couple of days. With embroidery, pricing usually consists of a one off setup charge to digitize the original artwork and then an embroidering charge per every 1000 stitches thereafter, plus the garment. With Revs I have digitized most for myself so there is no setup charges. I will work out a few examples of prices for finished garments as well.

Baloo Posted January 18, 2009 Report Share Posted January 18, 2009 With all the doom and gloom on the news lately I feel another quizcoming shortly. regards Dave M Can you make it a REALY difficult question please. Something like "How many kites does Baloo have?" would be great. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jasper21 Posted January 19, 2009 Report Share Posted January 19, 2009 Baloo - That isn't fair. How about how many posts Baloo has, or how long has Baloo been a member. One hat for each correct guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
